Etymology
The word 'pigment' originated from the Latin word 'pigmentum', which means 'coloring substance'. Pigments have been used by humans for thousands of years, with evidence of their use dating back to prehistoric times. Ancient civilizations used natural pigments derived from plants, minerals, and animal sources to create art, cosmetics, and decorative items. The development of synthetic pigments in the 19th century revolutionized the field of art and industry, leading to a wider range of colors and applications.
